About this app

Use MMGuardian Parental Control in your family to help keep your kids safe online. Our advanced parental controls enable easy remote child monitoring. Link this parent app with your child's phone to set parent limits on screen time, block apps & games, filter the internet, monitor text messages and get safety alerts. MMGuardian also includes a GPS location tracker.

This is the app for the parent's phone - you must also install a different app on your child's phone. Install this parent app first, and you will be guided to download the relevant Android parental control app or iPhone parental control app from Google Play or the App Store, on your child's phone.

Receive alerts when your child's text messages, supported social media chat messages or web searches are indicative of drugs, sexting, cyberbullying, child grooming, violence, suicidal thoughts and more.

What does MMGuardian Do?
With the MMGuardian Child Phone App installed to your child's Android phone, you will be able to monitor and block:
• SMS text messages
• Web browsing activity
• Application usage
• Phone calls

Social Media Chat Monitoring
In addition to normal SMS texts, chat messages from Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram, Kik, TikTok and Discord are reported. Alerts will be sent to you if the content in a SMS text or chat message appears to relate to one of nine special categories including sexting, cyberbullying and suicidal thoughts.

The benefits of using MMGuardian Parental Control when your child has an Android phone include:

• Alerting you when text messages or web searches are indicative of sexting, cyberbullying, suicidal thoughts and more.
• Alerting you when pictures on your child's phone, or sent in an MMS message, are of an adult nature or indicative of sexting.
• Comprehensive reports for text messages, app usage, web browsing and voice calls.

Additional Functions
• Locate your child's phone
• Quickly lock or unlock your child's phone
• Set limits for screen time, app usage, web filtering

This app on your phone and the one on your child's phone must be registered using the same (parent's) email address.

Both your phone and your child's phone should have network data capability, as the app uses data to send and receive configuration commands, reports and alerts.

Free 14 day trial
You do not need to set up a subscription to get the free 14 day trial. After the free trial period of the app on the child's phone has ended, unless the child phone app is licensed by a subscription, the functions in this Parent App that relate to premium functions on the child's app will be disabled. However you can still use MMGuardian to locate your child's phone remotely.

Subscriptions
You may purchase a subscription from within this Parental Control app app to apply to the MMGuardian app installed on your child's phone. Subscriptions are $4.99/mo or $49.99/year for one child phone. Family plans for up to 5 child devices are twice these amounts.

We encourage parents to discuss the reasons to use a parental control app with their children, which include helping to protect them from potential risks of their own actions and the actions of others, such as excessive screen time, cyberbullying and sexting.

I used to love this app. We have had it for several years now but at this point, I am kind of over trying to use it. It does not work correctly. Apps we have blocked still work. The app usage is way off, it will say my kids have been on their phones for 50+hrs. With this issue, I also cannot put app time limits on either because it will say all their time is used up when they were only on it for 10 minutes. It also does not keep track of all Facebook messages/Snapchat messages etc.

fantastic and way better than several expensive options it sends alerts Whenever there is a suspicious activity and sometimes it's a little too picky but it's still nice to know that it's working. there is a way to send feedback when this happens and it's become less of an issue so the developers seem to be tracking anything like this. I had one of my kids friends send them a beer icon and it flagged that for drugs which was nice to know. it has program restrictions as well

It's... Ok. It does what I want it to do, most of the time... But it's flaky. Sometimes it won't unlock when it's supposed to. Other times I catch my child playing on their phone in the middle of the night when it's supposed to be locked! Requesting reports takes forever, there's always a communication error the first couple times.
